Krems / Wachtberg: Eineiige Zwillinge!
Verfasst: 18.11.2020 09:42An ancient grave in Austria may represent the oldest burial of twins on record, a new study finds.
The 31,000-year-old burial dates to the Upper Paleolithic (a period lasting from 40,000 to 10,000 years ago), also known as the Old Stone Age. One of the infants died shortly after childbirth, while his twin brother lived for about 50 days, or just over 7 weeks, according to analyses of both babies.
A third infant, a 3-month-old, interred in a burial about 5 feet (1.5 meters) away is likely their cousin, according to the research
